New York Times photographer captures moment projectile went by Trump's head
New York Times photographer Doug Mills captured an iconic image of the projectile passing by Donald Trump's head.
I was part of that small pool that sits right up in the buffer zone which is just feet, sometimes just inches, from the podium," Mills described.
"(In) the moments right before the the bullets rang out I was literally looking up at this huge flag that was up above him. While he was speaking. I thought, 'Okay, I'm gonna try and get some pictures of that flag flying,' and then he gestured to his right...and all of a sudden the shots rang out," he said.
"I looked up, I kept taking pictures at the same time, and then when I saw him fall behind the podium, I thought, 'Oh, dear God, he's been shot.'"
